Plot

Kim Sang-nam ( Jung Jae-young), a hot-tempered professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of deaf and hard of hearing players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case. At first, Sang-nam has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who can’t hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game. Motivated, Sang-nam decides to help them prepare for the nationals. As Sang-nam trains them, he forms bonds with the players, as well as with the music teacher and baseball manager Ms. Na ( Yoo Sun). But things don’t go the way Kim plans and their difficulties communicating with one another exacerbates the situation. [6]
